Imagine how different America would be if Hillary had won. She's still brilliant and correct.

Imagine if you will, what it would be like if Al Gore had been declared the winner of a race that he actually won. Climate change would be on a different schedule.

Well. #SCOTUS was perfectly willing to hand it to Bush. It was very close, but why wait for the counts to be done, just let George do it. And in the meantime, we have 110 degree temps. Wait for the fall when Florida is literally blown away with multiple Cat 5 hurricanes that end up so big Katrina will look like a little windy day. With 100+ degree water temps, it's like nuclear power for hurricanes. Wait and see, lets hope it doesn't happen.

Yes. I can't do that kind of imagining. I run the risk of going way (way!) back to the year I was born ('68).

So you're saying... what? What about today? Would you like to be Donnie's side-kick? Do you want to be his unpaid legal counsel? Do you want to gather the wood, and start the camp-fire; plant the seed; gather the harvest; cook the meals; cleanup after; yada-yada? While all he does day after fukkin' day is get in the fukkin' way and cause chaos? Do you want to gather the faithful and build a society, just so this megalomaniac can spit in your face, and place himself above all others while lifting not one useful finger?

Remember, it's all a hoax, witch-hunt and all the other Trumpisms he still uses. Jack Smith is psycho, etc. Fani Willis is a Trump hater, and on and on. I can't wait to here his rants this morning. And Mary predicted everything he'd do and he is doing it.

Wow, welcome to Trumpistan. Hilllary would have been epic for all the right reasons while trumpy was epic for all the wrong reason. But we knew who he was and is. He's been a lifetime grifter, he never paid any of his bills, he relished using people and then refusing to pay them. Your epic fail is sad and pathetic. In case you've not noticed, Trumpy is paying millions in legal fees for a reason.

I voted for Hillary and was upset when she lost. In time though, I realize that had she won Mitch McConnell would have made her life miserable and completely flummoxed the goals of all Democrats and the majority of the American people. Things would have been in the realms of SNAFU I assure you.

I almost feel sorry for you, you're buying the BS lock stock and barrel. Joe Biden protects liberty of everyone even if someone doesn't meet your expectations. NOTHING ROLLER GOV ABBORT has done anything decent towards anyone. He probably hates dogs and cats too. He puts saw blades and razor wire, hoping to snag some him some little kids. He's apparently been responsible for a few deaths already. You can pretend all you want, but you are 100% Trumpy. So this is hill you want to die on? Trans people?

Paul Manafort & Roger Stone were willing and able associates of Trump working to get him in the Whitehouse since the 80s. This is no recent political event. Sheesh.

Trumpy did happy dances for 4 years for pulling off the worlds biggest grift in history. He ALMOST got away with it a 2nd time. The Big Lie was just his almost successful attempt at stealing a 2nd election.

How about gifting the Nation and NYT articles so we can read them? The Spectator article is old. Written during 2016 campaign. It does have some valid points, but seems a bit slanted in that the actual violence committed against Muslims in the US is not considered as part of the caution exercised when speaking about Islam.

There is something different. It’s that he can actually go to prison (or rough equivalent) if convicted. That no one can pardon him! And Hillary Clinton was brilliant! Water into wine please...

I’ve long felt it would be the women who take him down. Fani Willis, E. Jean, Stormy Daniels, and the badass Federal judge in the J6 case. And that’s probably just for starters.

I feel similarly about the 10 indictments in GA. Kind of seems as if there’s been a long exhale that’s brought relief like a summer rain after a drought.
